Condition

Represented as the original chassis, engine and Pony Tonneau bodyRestored better than new with excellent paint, upholstery and brass. Shows a little use and a few chips unavoidable from activity like erecting the top. Underbody and chassis are nearly impeccable. A quality restoration still more than good enough to show proudly.

Market commentary

Called a Thirty by Chalmers, on its dimensions it's a 25.6hp ALAM rating but that hardly reflects the real horsepower of its F-head four that thumps away with vigor. It has spirit and originality as well as choice driving upgrades that are minimally recognized by the price it brought. It's a significant value.
